good evening to all users!

i've this trouble: i've an xbox with gentoox installed, and also the usb adapter. well, when i connect my usb pen skintek 256 mb,

in command line i write:

modprobe usb-storage

and then, to verify:

dmesg

and here i can see that the pen is known as a 256 mb usb 2.0 storage device, and it start scsi emulation.

then i make a mount point:

mkdir -p /mnt/pendrive

...i change the files fstab and mtab adding the line

/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive vfat noauto,user,async,rw 0 0

and and finally i try to mount the pendrive:

mount /mnt/pendrive

but now it says that sda1 doesn't exsist.
in many tutorials i found that a pendrive often is marked as sda or sda1 device in linux, but i can't find nothing on this path.

simply i'd like to know how i can mount succesfully the pen on xbox gentoox. thanks.

i thank you for all replies.
well, i've reinstalled all gentoox to latest release 3.2 home.
now i can see the contents of usb pen and copy on xbox hd all the files i saved on the usb pen from windows xp.

but i'm not yet able to do the reverse thing: i can't yet write from xbox on pen and read on windows.

i evidence that the partition on the usb pen is now fat32.

when i try to set also write mode on usb pendrive in properties (with konquerors browser) it says me that "changing attributes of files is not supported with protocol devices" in error mask.

thank to interest in my trouble!!

WOW NOW IT'S ALL RIGHT!!! thanks very much for your help!!! without your tips, i probably was still here to find a solution

simply now i edited the fstab file adding line umask=0000
maybe this was the basilar key that i didn't know to add.

here's my fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/loop/0 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/mnt/fatx/e/swap none swap sw 0 0

/dev/sda /mnt/pendrive vfat umask=0000,user,noauto,rw,async 0 0
/dev/hda51 /mnt/fatx/c fatx defaults,noauto,umask=022 0 0
/dev/hda50 /mnt/fatx/e fatx defaults,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hda55 /mnt/fatx/f fatx defaults,umask=0000 0 0
